wine temps

[n144mann]

Do you guys have the problem of restaurants serving your red wines too warm?? I have run into this serveral times lately. I even asked for an ice bucket the one time to chill it ever so slightly. I like to drink my reds almost right out of the cellar which is about 60 degrees, and then of course it warms a little while I am finishing up the dinner and once in the glasses, but the temp is not above 70. There are definately some reds I like warmer than others, but..... When I asked the waiter for the ice, she looked at me like I was nuts and said that reds were supposed to be room temp, but I swear, it was about 75 degrees. I insisted and they did bring it to me. Does this happen to any of you? Or am I just quirky about temperature??
